History of Banbidian Village

About This Novel

The first village history of Banbidian Village was compiled at the beginning of this century. It provides reference materials for the villagers to learn about the past and present, trace their roots and ancestors, and understand the general situation of the village, folk customs, production and life, etc. It is a major and happy event for the whole village. Banbidian Village has a history of more than 600 years. According to the Records of Daxing County written by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Banbidian Village was established in the early Ming Dynasty by immigrants from Shanxi. There are still ruins of a large temple with a history of more than 200 years in the village, and there is also an acacia tree about 200 years old, which can serve as a historical witness. Currently, there are about 30 living villagers over the age of 75, of which about 10 are over 80 years old, and the oldest is 96 years old. They have all seen the tombs of the Zhang family who founded the village, as well as the ancestral tombs of the Huang family, the Lu family, and the Fu family. However, none of the families with the same surnames have handed down older genealogies, and there are few written records of the village's conditions. Past events mainly rely on oral transmission from generation to generation. The elderly people who are currently alive have not only heard their predecessors tell about their own experiences and the social conditions they saw and heard in the late Qing Dynasty, but they have also personally experienced the major events and tremendous economic and social changes that have occurred since the Revolution of 1911, especially the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, as well as the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, some contents of this book are mainly based on documentary records, such as the historical evolution of administrative divisions, the time of major events in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, historical wars and disasters, the grain output of Daxing County over the years after 1949, etc.; Some contents are compiled based on oral legends and narrations, such as the production and living conditions and folk customs of Banbidian Village since the late Qing Dynasty.
